Rene Muelensteen's men looked one of the strongest teams on paper at the beginning of the ISL with quality international players like former Manchester United duo Dimitar Berbatov and Wes Brown. They even had ISL veteran Iain Hume in their ranks.

But somehow, last season's finalists have failed to live up to expectations this season, with them yet to register a win, sitting at no. 8 in the points table. To further their wounds, star player Berbatov, who effectively played as a creative midfielder for them, suffered from a torn calf muscle in the last match against Goa and was substituted within the first five minutes. He is expected to be out until at least the end of this month
